Kirk Franklin - Declaration

There've been times in my life
I'm tired and I wanna give up
I've been wondering why
Why is the world gettin' so crazy?
Still, somehow I believe
I've come too far to die now
I always survive
If you're a survivor, get up!
Let's get it!

Gonna cry now, go ahead and get it out of my system
I know I hurt now, but soon I gotta get back to livin'
Can't be here next year, givin' you these same tears
I hope you enjoyed it, 'cause it's the last time you will take a piece of me

I start right now, I don't know how I'm gonna get thru it
I know right now, I pray somehow 'cause I can't do it
I can't keep livin' like this, there's gotta be more than this
Jesus, I'm ready, I'm ready for what you have for me

Chorus
Are you gonna wait for a sign?
Are you ready for'you're miracle
God's people it's time to' stand up and fight
Let's get it, let's get it

You can't mess with my mind anymore
I'm smarter, see I've been here before
It's time today, I'm not afraid anymore
Yes, I believe, if you believe, help me say

I'm a child of the King baby, look at somebody and tell 'em' This is it!

I look back now, I look at how you tried to break me
To take my life, my peace of mind and drive me crazy
My self esteem, my dreams, my destiny
So, God allowed it, because He knew He had big plans for me
It's your grace, I know today it's how I made it
When I thought that it was over'

Chorus
Everybody that's been holdin' you down, look at 'em and tell 'em This is it!
I feel my help coming on right now, ya'all'
You think that maybe it's over' You're life ain't over
Not unless you want it to be
Are you gonna wait for a sign? 'you're miracle
Stand up and fight

Rap
This is it ya'll, this is it ya'all
You've been waitin' and debating , here it is, ya'll
All your stuff from your past, shake it off ya'll
Though they said you wouldn't last, but who is ya'll?
Want your dreams back? Let's get it!
Your peace of mind back? Let's get it!
Want your family back? Let's get it!
Are you ready? Let's get it! (This is it!)
I speak against everything that comes to destroy the purpose in your life
Worrying about your finances, your future, when you can't even sleep at night
I speak against depression and fear, every attack from the enemy
This is your day, the Lord made it baby! God has set you free!

You can't mess with my mind anymore
I'm smarter, see I've been here before
It's time today, I'm not afraid anymore
I wanna hear ya'll sing this with your boy!
Every body say This is it!

You can't mess with my mind anymore
I'm smarter, see I've been here before
It's time today, I'm not afraid anymore
Yes, I believe, if you believe, help me say This is it!
